Dinosaur Week Day 1

For the beginning of our dinosaur unit, I did Deanna Jump's egg hatching idea! It was so fun to make inferences based on clues that I gave them about what was inside the egg.  We drew the first picture without any clues, our second with three clues, and the third drawing was what was really inside the egg.  Most of my unit comes from here.

During a rotation on that day we also make silly words and real words using plastic eggs.  It was a great way to integrate the phonics chunks that we've been working on.  

The word family egg idea comes from here!
